Foundstone Conversations

Mar 28 2022 • 40 mins

It was great to have Wendy back for another conversation and this time, in her new role as the Executive Director Social Procurement and Impact with Social Traders.

In this latest conversation, we dive deeper into the world of Social Enterprise.

Wendy talks about her time in her previous role as the CEO of a Social Enterprise and some of the first-hand learning and experiences of how she grew that business significantly through Social Enterprise principles.

In Foundstone's work with other Social Enterprise organisations, we see first-hand the direct influence Social Enterprises are having on the market, broader society, and how their new revenue growth is also accelerating through these principles.

It's organisations and leaders like this who drive this meaningful work and impact that Foundstone are keen to get behind.

Tune in to hear about:
- What Social Enterprises truly are
- Debunking myths and misconceptions
- How this sector is having significant growth, with millennials leading the charge in this space
- How organisations can be moving towards greater partnership with social enterprises, or become social enterprises themselves
- Major government strategies across federal and state Australia
